Re: Get the current user's display name in Office 365

I found a solution for this by using the following:

InfoPath Form Web Part
SharePoint Client Object Model
Script Editor WEb Part
Query String Filter Web Part

It ended up being fairly complicated so there are more details on my blog: http://kitmenke.com/blog/2013/10/31/pass-user-information-from-sharepoint-2013-to-infopath-2013/

Get the current user's display name in Office 365

I am creating a form using InfoPath 2013 and publishing to an Office 365 SharePoint 2013 form library. Inside the form, I want to display the current user's name as well as use it in the filename to publish the form.

If I use the username() InfoPath function, I get a funky value like "i:0#.f|membership|myemail@example.com" and I've found I can't use the GetUserProfileByName method because it is broken in Office 365. http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itaysk/archive/2007/04/05/InfoPath-_2D00_-Get-the-current-user-without-writing-code.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2674193

How can I get the current user's display name?
